Rancher David loses his horse

We’ve already talked about Joan Vassos’ stunning premiere on “The Golden Bachelorette” and the amazing suitors who made a big impression on ABC’s premiere night.

But there were a few in the group of 24 who wished they had a second chance at making a first impression with Joan. Most notable was 68-year-old rancher David from Austin, Texas, who started strong, riding a horse to the Bachelor Mansion.

“Now that’s an entrance,” Joan said, impressed, “where did you find a horse there? So you’ve outdone everyone, huh?”

And it’s true: a group of boys who had already arrived chuckled and watched from a distance, cocktails in hand.

“Is the man or the horse the contestant?” someone asked with a grin.

‘Golden Bachelorette’ Premiere Glamorous Joan met her 24 suitors in an emotional premiere: who got a rose?

David got off beautifully, but his horse sneaked off as the contestant approached Joan. You could see the “Golden Bachelorette” crew chasing the runaway horse around the grounds.

“I want you to go meet that horse,” the unknowing David said to Joan.

“Uh, I think it’s gone,” Joan replied.

“Oh my God, what happened?” David asked, turning around with a shocked look on his face.

The cackling started at the Bachelor Mansion and moved on to the gregarious Gary, who did nothing but laugh at the horse during a confessional interview. And the laughter reached TV sets across the country and social media.

But the horse escape event may have had an impact. David didn’t get a rose at the end of the night and was one of six “Golden Bachelorette” men to go home.

What other ‘Golden Bachelorette’ intros didn’t go so well?

  • Jordan, 61, a sales executive from Chicago, was noticeably nervous when he met Joan. But he was sweet and talked about his three daughters. Still, Jordan agonized at the entrance, berating himself for his poor performance and vowing to make it right. Relax, Jordan, and move on. He was given a rose.
  • Michael, 65, a retired bank manager, was so upset about meeting Joan that he forgot himself. “Michael, that’s my name,” he said. But he brushed it off and continued on his way. Michael was given a rose.
  • Bob, 66, a chiropractor from Marina Del Rey, California, got out of the car and started filming with an old-fashioned video camera. Weird, yes. But you don’t want to meet someone who uses the camera first. Bob was given a rose by Joan.
  • Christopher, 64, a contractor from West Babylon, New York, rightly told Joan that it was “a little irregular” to be dating 24 men on a reality TV show. But his solution of giving shots of prune juice when he met Joan was a little too obvious. “By the evening, everything will be going really well,” he said. TMI: too much introduction. Christopher still deserved a rose.
